If he is not fired, I will leave the Seattle Seahawks head coach, as he has a misunderstanding with his player.
If the Seattle Seahawks head coach is not fired due to a miscommunication with one of his players, I’ll be leaving.
On Thursday, I had a revelation on head coaches in the NFL. I believe this to be the reason behind Pete Carroll’s firing by the Seahawks and the person they are trying to find to replace him. Perhaps this is something that many of you already know.
What if the NFL is made up of roughly 22 head coaches who are in the middle, a small number of AMAZING coaches, and a small number of BAD coaches? I’m just kicking around this idea.
In the next few weeks, as we discuss potential candidates for the Seahawks‘ head coaching position, I predict that much of the fan and media discourse will revolve around identifying someone who fits the unique definition of “GREAT, even though it’s possible that there will only be one of those hires every three to four years. (One of them used to be Pete Carroll.)
It might be wiser to state that the Seahawks‘ hiring process will be more selective in order to avoid selecting a head coach who might be “TERRIBLE.”
This is the point at which candidates like John Harbaugh may no longer be on the list. Names like Dan Quinn and Mike Vrabel start to make a lot of sense if Seattle doesn’t need to swing for the fences and can instead make a firm commitment to someone they know is at least good. This isn’t because they’re worried he stinks, which plainly nobody believes. Perhaps for the sake of the Seahawks, if not for you.
Perhaps there isn’t much of a difference between the 26th and the sixth-best coaches. It’s also possible that teams are doing their research to ensure they don’t wind up with a bad coach rather than concentrating on finding a “great coach.” The errors were made by Matt Patricia, Hue Jackson, and Urban Meyer. Is “the next Bobby Petrino” truly more of a threat than “the next Sean McVay”? There’s only so much that McVay can accomplish as a coach, and it’s not much.
Because Doug Pederson is proof that even head coaches who are “average” can win Super Bowls. Kubiak Gary. Arians Bruce. just to mention three.
Though one of them was fired in the middle of the season and the other is in the playoffs, Brandon Staley wasn’t a worse hire than McDaniel, in my opinion. Why, then, do I believe this? They were given completely distinct duties, including different schedules, GMs, players, and ownership. Similar to McDaniel, Staley enjoyed consecutive winning seasons to begin his career. We’re evaluating them based on specifics (numbers, what have you done for me lately), and in a year, McDaniel might be fired or win the Super Bowl.
